Chapter 6- Su Xiaoming

Now I am walking with Xiaoming through the forest. As it turned out, Xiaoming lives here not far in a small village, her mother is the only alchemist in the area and herbs are often brought to her so that she could prepare pills. Xiaoming's father is a hunter, and Xiaoming herself often goes to the forest for herbs, which is why she is here now.

When I told her that I was lost in the forest and asked where the village was, she replied that she can spend when she goes back, only now she needs to collect herbs, although the Xiaoming family is not poor, she is going to enter the imperial academy this year, this is one of the best academies in the empire. And to study there you need a lot of money.

That is why she collects and then sells these herbs so that she does not need anything during her studies. Although even this will not be enough, because cultivators spend all their money on alchemy.

Now we are collecting medicinal herbs together, I, with my cultivation, though a little, but still see farther and better, so I can notice the herbs earlier than she did, and after an hour her basket was full.

I didn't tell her that I'm a cultivator, after all, I don't want too much attention to myself. Although she asked questions how I run so fast and notice grass at such a distance.

As soon as we collected, we went back to the village on a slightly different road. As a gift, I also collected herbs and removed their spatial pocket so that Xiaoming would not notice anything.

After 30-40 minutes, I finally saw the first village in this world. The village was not big, I counted 17 houses. A rather long fence stretched around the village.

As soon as we entered the village, children came running to us and started calling Xiaoming to play with them. She politely refused and said that I was lost and wanted to take me to the village elder. Only after that, they finally noticed me and began to ask where I was from.

When they finally left us, she took me to the elder's building and said goodbye to me, saying that she would meet later when the herbs were delivered. I then went to the building

The building was completely made of wood, which is not surprising. When I went inside, I saw two people who looked at me. One sitting on a chair was a middle-aged man, apparently an elder. The second one that looked at me with a frown was a little younger.

"Hello, my name is Wu Long," I said, bowing respectfully. I bowed not only because of my seniority, but also because the elder is in the middle stage of body purification. The second man is also an early stage cultivator.

-Boy, what do you want here, we are not playing here, come out, the man said in a rude voice

-Woo Xiulan enough! Can't you see that he is not from our depevny ?! - He said to him in a cold tone and looked at me - What are you doing here?

-When I went to the forest I got lost, then in the forest I met Xiaoming when she was collecting herbs, after which she took me to the village and told me to come to you

- Xiaoming means .. Okay, but what do you want from me?

- I would like to know how to get to the nearest city - I myself understand that they will not give me anything just so I want to enter an academy or a sect in order to occupy myself.

-That's how, then you're in luck.
